It's not a fine line, it's a huge difference.
Bollocks.
Do you see how hypocritical that statement is?
Well known atheist says something ...that isn't representative of atheism.
Any Christian says something - somehow that's automatically Christian dogma and all Christians believe it.
Bollocks.
Notice where I said "Christians speaking for their religion and acting on religious beliefs", not "if any Christian says anything".
I also said they "represent their religious denomination", not necessarily Christianity as a whole. I chose my words carefully.

People like Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson, etc are not representative of Christianity; they are only representative of their particular twisted view of Christianity, and to claim that this mandates all Christians is ridiculous.
I illustrated that they represent their denomination (or "twisted view") of Christianity, not that any Christian on the public stage is suddenly a spokesperson for the religion as a whole.
